Hi all... as promised, some more from my trip to the Outer Hebrides at the beginning of February. These from Vatersay, the island south of Barra. Vatersay is the southern most inhabited point in the Outer Hebrides. It is also the western most inhabited point in the British Isles, and is separated from the island of Barra by a causeway, which was built as recently as 1991. It has a population of around 100, mostly concentrated in the south of the island. It has 3 wonderful beaches: Bagh Bhatarsaigh (facing East), Traigh Siar (facing West), and Bagh a Deas (facing South). All Pentax K1 and various lenses. 1. Bagh Bhatarsaigh, Dawn. Looking North. 2. Bagh Bhatarsaigh, Sunrise, looking South. 3. Bagh Bhatarsaigh, Sunrise, looking East. Passing storm. 4. Bagh Bhatarsaigh, Sunrise, looking East. Passing storm. 5. Traigh Siar, looking West. Dawn. 6. Traigh Siar, looking West. Early morning. 7. Bagh a Deas, looking South. Sandray far distance. 8. Bagh a Deas, looking South. Sandray far distance. 9. Bagh a Deas, looking South West. Sunset. Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay, Berneray far distance. 10. Bagh a Deas, looking South West. Sunset. Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay, Berneray far distance. 11. Bagh a Deas, looking South. Afterglow. Sandray Far Distance. All thoughts, comments, observations etc. gratefully received as ever... Best

Thanks David, Serge and Peter... Serge, yes this was a very different day, with quite a different feel... colder, darker, stormier... the weather up there changes on a sixpence...

you say it was colder, darker and stormier but to me they still have an air of tranquility, also for me trying to picture the views i would not have been able to see what you saw in them. for me peronally you have created some amazing images from nothing . top job
